So it's all about reeling down the bait with the oldest trick of the trade, s-s-s-s-suspense! Hush on the venue, the international act and the secret international singer, many of us in Hong Kong are wondering what has DFS up their sleeves for their 50th anniversary party this year.

When 18 and belows are scouring for the most expensive ball gown to waltz in orchestra music in a tiara, clinking champagne glasses and declare "i am better" means, your city is in excess hell. Is the increasingly popular HK dream of becoming empresses and heiresses healthy, especially to minors?

The Austrian Chamber of Commerce thinks not. For a vibrant HK$54,000 at the Grand Hyatt ballroom, they will be hosting a string of soon-to-be Paris Hiltons at the Hong Kong Vienna Opera Ball boasting 1,000 square foot of debutante debauchery. Well, at least their parents are invited (and paying for it).

I fell in love with Diesel's "Be Stupid" campaign with its billboards and magazine spreads. Let's roam the roads of creative living! Oh, to live for the heart! To start creating, to have balls and take risks! While I cant' get enough of "Smart has One Good Idea and That Idea Was Stupid", those cheeky ones cooked up even more tongue in cheek social satire with "Sex Sells, but unfortunately, we sell jeans" , and may I say, sex indeed sells tickets to a launch party. WIth an invite advertising free trouser arouser toys, I'm in for the show.
